Halo: Combat Evolved was originally going to be made for the PC & Mac platforms. Bungie changed platforms to the upcoming Xbox after being bought by Microsoft. Then, on 09/30/03, Gearbox Software created Halo for the PC and added a few extra features, too. (It should be noted, however, that in the process of developing the port, the ability to play co-op in multiplayer mode was lost entirely.) Later, a Halo Mac was made.
Halo PC has maintained incredible popularity since its release. In May of 2007, over 130,000 players played Halo PC online, nearly four years after the game's release[1].
